The program aims to stamp out negative behaviour and allow children to enjoy their sport in an encouraging environment.
People on the sidelines will be asked to be quiet during the first and third quarters and follow the Shoosh for Kids guidelines.
Maitland Netball Association president Kim Starkey said it was vital that youngsters have an enjoyable environment to play and that negative behaviour on the sidelines was unacceptable.
The successful Shoosh for Kids program has been embraced by junior sporting bodies across the Hunter.
To ensure your children have a healthy and encouraging environment to play sport remember:
- If your comment is negative, then Shoosh.
- If your comment is directed at a player, then Shoosh.
- If your comment is directed at a referee or match official, then Shoosh.
- Reward good play by both teams with applause, if you can’t, then Shoosh.
